Outrageous Vegan Thanksgiving Feast

We had an incredible vegan Thanksgiving feast. It was the most variety and flavor we have ever had at a meal – holiday or otherwise. It was living proof that vegan meals rock! Fourteen of us each contributed one or more dishes. Some highlights included pumpkin tamales wrapped in banana leaf with cranberry relish and coconut sour cream; grilled breadfruit, tempeh and tofu cutlets with onion shiitake gravy; mashed potatoes; seitan field roast; big organic salad with cranberry dressing; homemade breads; steamed vegetables, potatoes and squash; marinated herb roasted mushrooms and zucchini. Oh…and fondue with a creamy pumpkin sauce!

For dessert we stuck with the fondue theme, this time it was melted dark chocolate and soy creamer as the dipping sauce. For dippables we had homemade peanut butter cookies, candied ginger, bananas and apples, banana bread, homemade fruit bread, chocolate cake. Live pumpkin pie as well as apple pie with vegan whipped cream, all served with the famous Blossoming Lotus Chai. So much to be thankful for!
